Randy: Look at it this way, 1.25 horsepower per 16" disk blade, 18" and 20" blades will require a bit more. Your idea of buying a disk that you can pull wings up, with the M and wings down with your Oliver, while it sounds practical, I don't think I would pull it very much with wings up. Problem is your going to wear your main frame disks more than the disks on the wings. I thought of this years ago 20'disk, with 88 - 20" blades. It was over 100 hp job with wings down. I tried using 656 one day using center section only, just to do my garden. That turned out to be the first and last time. 20' disk is not an easy implement to hitch to, one may as well have it hitched to the larger tractor and ready, willing and able to drop the wings any time.
